From the creators of baldurs gate 3?

[Neyreyan_Youtube]

It says "The critically acclaimed RPG that raised the bar, from the creators of Baldur's Gate 3. "
But they didnt finish that game, it's early acces. Can they really say they made baldurs gate 3 before they make it?
And why do they think original sin 2 is worse? because it's clearly the better rpg out of the 2

I think you're reading too much into it. Baldur's Gate 3 is the highest-profile franchise they've been a part of. A lot of people who find DOS2 these days are folks who heard about BG3, maybe played BG1-2, and are interested to see what else this studio has produced. It's just good marketing. I see no reason to interpret that blurb as claiming that BG3 is better than DOS2.

Ask the marketing department of the publisher.

They have already created Baldur's Gate 3. Something being unfinished doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

As for your other comment, BG3's store page does the same thing with D:OS2. "From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons." As you can see, it's a case of cross-promotion, not favoritism.

Creators creating something makes them creators of that thing.

First I get why you're highlighting the early access angle - there are plenty of examples but Peter Molineaux's Godus AAA exercise in taking the piss which went from kickstarted desktop based god game to early access funded incomplete mobile clicker game and then stayed there, is probably the most comparable - a company set up to make games commercially using early access to self publish.

While I have issues with the Baldur side of things for other reasons, I feel you've got to give it to Larian for being true to the actual spirit of early access - both Divinity games were crowd funded, released into early access resulting in supported games which were then reworked to address bug fixes and tweak game play to then be released as a free upgrade to anyone who had purchased the initial release. With Divinity 2, Larian went a step further after the release of the Defintive edition, where they could have stepped back and declared job done, and continued to release Gift Bags which are essentially developer mods.

Compare this to Paradox's approach where bug fixes and tweaks are spread across multiple paid for "DLC"
So essentially I'm saying they have a track record of delivering.


Having said all that I'm watching Baldur's Gate for signs Larian could be turning into the next CDProjektRed.

Just because BG3 isn't done yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist, they've already created stuff for it so can very much claim to be the creators of it.

IDK why you think them mentioning another of their games means they thing the other is better, it's just them linking their products together so people get a better idea as to what the game might be like making them more likely to buy it. Especially given how the BG3 store page also says "from the creators of Divinity Original Sin 2", it's just them linking their products together.

This.

did we mix "creating" with "releasing"? I say if you created things, called under a Baldur's Gate 3, its release state doesn't impact the condition of its created-ness. This is a pretty petty topic

The hilarious kicker to the OP is that he then continues to go on to compare DOS2 and BG3 as if BG3 is a game that is created. The hell, man? /facepalm

From the people with the intention of someday releasing Baldurs Gate 3.
We hope to potentially say that it was the best RPG ever created.

They have made BG3??? Just because they didn't finish it doesn't mean they haven't made it. Your logic goes along the lines of "well they are still updating DOS2 so it isn't done so they technically haven't made it." Also I don't think they are saying BG3 is better. They say its next generation. Because it is apart of the next generation of games they have created. DOS2 is an older game doesn't mean its better or worse though. It would be dumb to say a game they have created is sub-par to another they also made.

I love divinity one and two. But deadfire is a better game.
